Fairfax ReLeaf Fall Tree Plantings

Fairfax ReLeaf Now Scheduling Fall Tree Plantings

County Has Already Met Half its Goal for Planting 2006 Trees

One month after its announcement, Fairfax County is already
halfway to its goal of planting 2,006 trees on public property by the end
of this year. Because of overwhelming public demand, however, Fairfax
ReLeaf, which is partnering with the county to achieve its goal, is now
only taking requests for fall plantings.

To request a free tree to plant this fall, county residents can contact
Fairfax ReLeaf at trees@fairfaxreleaf.org or 703-324-1409, TTY 711.
Please include your name, phone number, a detailed description of the
potential project, including the common area where the trees will be
planted, the supervisory district where you live, and whether you wish to
volunteer to help plant trees. Fairfax ReLeaf will confirm orders later
this summer using the contact information provided.

Preference will be given to the unfulfilled requests submitted by
residents for a spring planting.

Trees can be planted on common areas at schools, religious institutions,
neighborhoods, parks, stormwater areas and on Virginia Department of
Transportation right of ways. Most areas require permission to plant
trees, and Fairfax ReLeaf will assist residents in obtaining the
appropriate authorization.

For more information, contact Fairfax ReLeaf at 703-324-1409, TTY 711,
or trees@fairfaxreleaf.org.

To request this information in an alternate format, call the Office of
Public Affairs at 703-324-3187, TTY 711.
